With another warm day forecast we cast off from the meadows and went straight thru Millmead Lock. It’s only a short run to then moor up at the bottom of the high street. A lot of the buildings along this part were looking tired, but most have been done up, even the old Guildford Boathouse looks good now.

Guildford was still relatively quiet and cool this morning, so we split up in an effort to save time before losing the shade. I managed to find a Gail’s Bakery with their Pecan and Cinnamon Crumb cakes, yum, and a Hasselblad 90 degree viewfinder for one of my old cameras from the second hand camera shop. Whilst Hazel successfully negotiated a shoe shop, chemist and Mark & Spencers. Then onto Dapdune for their services and the B&Q moorings for Halfords and autoglymn polish.

Then onto Stoke Lock, which had a shady mooring for lunch and prawn sandwiches from M&S…….and very nice they were too !

This afternoon we have gone thru Bowers Lock and are now moored up downstream of Send Church Bridge. It’s a lovely shady spot with a bit of breeze to keep things cool. It’s an easy run back to the Marina tomorrow, then packing and a final meet up with Penny for a meal before flying onto Ireland.
